Want to know why unlocking teams is HUGE?
Let me give you an example...

Hopefully we can get more than the 5 guys I have here listed,but this is just who has replied to this thread as an example...

Lets say this is the order of points tallied and teams unlocked for the whole 17 week schedule) OK?

Johno=287 pts (Minny,Saints,Bears,packers,Colts,Texans
davy=279 pt's (Minny,Saints,Lions,Packers)
aceinthehouse=267 pt's(Minny, Saints,Redskins,Cowboys)
credskinsrule=233 pt's(Minny,Saints,patriots,Jets,Bengals Steelers)
saden=226 pt's(Minny,Saints,Broncos,Chiefs,Raiders)

actual Playoff teams for 2010 are
AFC
-----------------------
Patriots (1st seed)
Ravens(2nd seed)
Colts(3rd seed)
Texans(5th seed)
Chiefs(4th seed)
Chargers(6th seed)
NFC
-------------------
Redskins(1st seed)
Giants(5th seed)
packers(2nd seed)
Saints(3rd seed)
falcons(6th seed)
Niners(4th seed)

Johnno would pick 1st because he has the most pt's...
He can choose between the Colts,Saints,packers and Texans...

Lets say he picks the Saints...He would be the Saints and the 3rd seed through the playoffs...

This leaves davy with only the packers in his grab bag for the Playoffs that he can be...So he's green bay and the #2 seed.

That leaves me (aceinthehouse) with only the Redskins to use...so I take them...and the #1 seed

credskinsrule only has the patriots that he can use for the Playoffs here,so he them and the #1 seed

And Saden would only have the chiefs available and the #4 seed....

Now all were lucky to have a playoff team and not be eliminated,but had any of them not had a team unlocked in the actual playoff picture,they would be eliminated from the game. (no matter what their pt's tally was)

But as you see,,,having the most pt's lets you pick 1st...
